The last thing Avery wanted was to see Ruby, much less watch their child be born into the world and then coming over to search for Elliot.
If the child did come looking for them in the future, she might not be able to bring herself to turn the girl away heartlessly.
However, she would never let Elliot see the child.
That was the extent of her kindness as far as the present scenario was concerned.
"We’re putting a pause on this issue. You'd better do as you said in the future." She put an end to it. "I don't think you'd be as generous as I am now if you were in my shoes, Elliot." "I know that. Avery, thank you." He looked at her gratefully, "1 won't let myself be confused again in the future."
"Okay. Time to get up. Let’s go down together," she planned to keep him company and eat a little more.
She had no appetite when she ate alone, but now that she had resolved the conflict with him, she started to feel a little hungry.
After he got up, he walked to the bathroom and washed his face.
"Did the kids have fun today?" he asked.
"Do you even need to ask? They're much closer to Mike than they are to you," she teased. "They're going to Eric's place tomorrow. Are you going too?" "What about you?" He washed his face and came out of the bathroom. "I'll follow you wherever you go."
"How do you expect me to go out in this condition?" she asked bitterly, "As much as I'd like to go out and enjoy myself, I still value my appearance in public. I'd much rather not go out."
"Do you need to visit your mother's relatives for the new year?" Elliot asked. "I can go on your behalf if it's necessary."
"I have an uncle. I lived with him after my mother and my father divorced. Although my mother and my aunt didn't have a good relationship, my mother still lived there for several years..."
"Okay, let's visit them for the new year tomorrow," Elliot said. "Do they have any children? Is there anything I'd need to pay attention to?"
Avery could not help but laugh when she saw his slight nervousness. "Nothing in particular. Just bring some gifts =b.=XKQ; you'll be fine. I remember he has a granddaughter...or was it a grandson. Just prepare a few gifts for both."
"Sure."
